To be clear, not advocating that. I still think that Kirk gives us the best chance to win, even though he's been shaky. But his body language has been just dreadful -- the guy looks defeated. Aaron Rodgers didn't have a good game the other night, and although you could see it really bothered him, he didn't have his head down or seem to withdraw. (I know, Cousins isn't to be confused with Rodgers -- but it's the mental toughness that is concerning; Gruden already shut him down once before for too many picks).

Gruden really doesn't have any choice if he wants to try and Win, etc.. At the beginning of the season we understood that Cousins was the starter for ALL of 2016 no matter what, but this was generally under the belief that Cousins wouldn't be the piss poor player that he seems to be right now. He is coughing up 2 INTs a game, so even if he throws for 20 + TD, he is on pace to throw 32 INTs. Any coach worth his salt has to pull a guy who is that atrocious.....

You will see Colt McCoy if things get ugly against the giants.....
